Viewers left bemused as Moises Caicedo gets ‘tackled by thin air’ against Leeds

Viewers of the FA Cup clash between Chelsea and Leeds United were left ‘confused’ as Moises Caicedo appeared to have been ‘tackled by thin air’ during the match.

Chelsea had to come from 0-1 down to beat Leeds United 3-2 in a very tough match where Leeds forward Mateo Joseph stole the show, scoring two goals.

Conor Gallagher grabbed a late winner in the last minute of normal time for Chelsea.

The Blues will play Leicester City at Stamford Bridge, a repeat of the 2021 FA Cup final, when Leicester City came out on top.

But in the match tonight, the main talking point was defensive midfielder Moises Caicedo as the 22 year-old appeared to have fell over thin air with nobody around him.

It was a strange one, some fans are suggesting that he rolled his ankle. You can watch below:

A great effort by Leeds United but they just couldn’t hang on for extra-time unfortunately!
